Fatwa on Photography

Munni: inshAllah I'll try to email him sometime.

If there are any other questions that you would like to ask me, plz lemme know.


"I put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord! There is not a moving creature, but He has a grasp of its forelock. Verily, my Lord is on the straight path. (The truth)"
(11:55-56)

"...Indeed my prayer, my sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allaah, the Lord of the worlds" (6:162)

As far as I know photography was always allowed.

There are lots of opinions about painting/drawing. Some say it is not allowed to paint anything living but other says painting and drawing is not un-Islamic.

As for statue or 3D representation of living thing most scholars do not permit it.
